Anne here. Since the loss of our beloved Jo, we wenches have been discussing who we would like to join us in Word Wench bloggery.

Mother's day has always been quite enjoyable for me, I have a wonderful mom, an amazing mother-in-law, and in the last few years I have had the joy of celebrating as a mother myself.
